This is a colorful and striking russet quartz from Nigeria, 2.3 oz and 2” by 1.6” by 1”. She has a visible phantom inside that is quite solid - she is a phantom-manifestor! The white area was the original crystal which was overlaid with a hematite deposit and the sugarblade portion was a secondary growth! With a loupe, you will see tiny spheres of hematite inside (and believe me, you will have to look hard but they are there) and a plethora of tiny, circular “keys” where the spheres once resided on her exterior. Her faces created raised areas down her sides and in the valley between each of three sides, there is a cascade of small students on her sides. She is in excellent condition and awaits her very special Keeper.
I call her an “Earth Knower” or “Earth Mother” … of all the crystals I have known, there are only a few who fall into this category. If you have ever seen the painting "Earth Knower" by Maynard Dixon, you know that she could be nothing else.(Earth Knower graces office wall where I gaze at the print constantly … and is far and above, my absolute favorite painting!) Her multiple terminations look so like those red hills in the background and her incredible energies are precisely like the Native American in the foreground. She holds secrets of the Earth, accumulated for millennia. All over this planet, indigenous peoples are very connected to the earth through eons of learning, observing and feeling. Many know things about the plants and animals of their environment that scientists are still “discovering”. This ability to totally connect with earthly Spirits is cherished and revered.
This special Spirit immediately meshes you with the Earth energies, but you know, it's different. It is almost like you are plugging into a cosmic consciousness. Your awareness pumps up several notches and things take on aspects you never thought imaginable. She is definitely a personal crystal and her true Keeper will know her immediately – and will know exactly how she must be used. She is an awesome Spirit!!
